Considering that the writer Kanika Dhillon has spoken out supporting Kabir Singh especially extolling the 'strength' of Preeti, the intention might very well to portray another unhealthy relationship. Unhealthy from the viewpoint of a sane normal person, but hey it works for the couple. But it seems the audience are not buying it this time due to any or all of the following reasons.
- Maybe because the protagonist is a small-town housewife and a mild-mannered engineer instead of a cjhest-beating alpha male doctor.
- Or it could be that Vinil Mathew did not glorify his heroine to the same extent Vanga did with Kabir Singh.
- Or it might have been the lack of rousing wonderful music while the couple goes about on a self-destructive spiral. KS for all its faults had great music.
- Or it could be that young female quotient of the audience are more sensible than their male counterparts.
